At the urging of the Tabbies o Trout Towne I decided to repost my father’s valentines which he had saved. After he died I found a large collection of cards in a box he saved as a child from different holidays. Valentines were the most numerous by far. These run from 1917 to 1928 but most are from the early 1920’s. In other words 100 years old plus or minus a few years. None have envelopes. Some are postcards like the very last one, some are three D foldouts, some are cutouts which were never cut out. Some were just “ordinary”. The black and white ones are examples of what is to be found inside some of them when opened. I knew some of the relatives family friends whose names are on the cards when I was young. Some of the other valentines may be the only artifacts left behind on earth to show someone lived. If you haven’t seen them I hope you enjoy them. I looked up valentines on the web and did not see any of these but what I did see had little monetary value. Over 90 images are shown below, plus Dad on the family farm. He was the youngest of three brothers and got the hand-me-downs.
